Abstract :

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted everyday life, the global economy, travel, commerce and healthcare, which has demonstrated the weakness of current medical systems. Hence, technologies can be useful in reducing the severity of the impact of the coronavirus pan­demic on individuals, organizations and society. Nowadays, about 420 million people have some of eye disease according to the World Health Organization (WHO). This problem grows really quickly due the aging of our population. Specialist thinks that we need much more ophthalmologists. Therefore, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has made significant advancements in ophthalmology by analyzing data and medical images. AI shows promise in improving diag­nosis and access to eye care. For instance, AI algorithms can detect eye diseases like diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration from retinal images, predict disease risk and pro­gression, and provide treatment recommendations to augment doctors, etc. In this confer­ence, we present an overview analysis of literature in the field of ophthalmology and AI. The study employs a comprehensive approach; combining advanced machine learning and deep learning (ML & DL) techniques to enhance new developments relevant to ophthalmology.
